The next day at breakfast Hermione was on the receiving end of many admiring stares. In an attempt to apologise for yesterday's confrontation about his treatment of her, Hermione had made herself look as attractive as possible under her school robes for Severus. She had a very short black skirt on and a low cut top that exposed much more than just her neck. She had also applied subtle make-up which made her look older and emphasised her full lips and large eyes. Harry and Ron stared at her as she took a place next to them at the Gryffindor table wrapping her robes tightly around her.

 "What are you dressed like that for?" said Ron incredulously

"Like what?" said Hermione hotly. She was very unnerved at the fact that people were staring at her. The only person she wanted a reaction from was Severus.

 "And what's THAT?" said Harry looking at her neck. Clearly visible was the bite mark on her shoulder. She covered it with her hand quickly.

"Nothing" she said "I'm not hungry actually I'll see you both in Potions" She walked quickly out of the Great Hall at to the entrance of the dungeons. Deciding that she didn't want

"Settle down" Professor Snape said as the class filed in and sat down. Hermione decided to sit in the middle of the classroom where Severus would have a good view of her. He glanced at her for a spilt second then went to the front of the classroom and began the lesson. Hermione slowly opened her robes enough for Severus to get a pretty good look at her.

  "I will pass these papers around" he said in his usual bored voice "And those of you with some intelligence should be able to manage this potion simply"

He began to pass the papers around slowly making his way towards Hermione. As he got closer Hermione shook nervously. Severus looked up as he got to Hermione's desk. The look on Severus' face made it worthwhile for Hermione. His mouth hung open in amazement, his eyes travelled up and down her body and Hermione knew that he was suppressing a moan. He pulled his robes around him tightly and Hermione smiled slying as she realised why. His gaze fell upon the red mark on her neck and flashes of the night before went through his mind. He let out a small groan of desire causing Hermione's smile to widen further.

 "Is there something wrong Professor?" she said trying to sound sincere as he passed her a sheet of parchment.

"Get on with your work Miss Granger" he said sharply and he walked away quickly.

As the lesson went on Hermione found Severus looking at her less and less which upset her slightly. Her intention had been to get his attention not cause him to look away from her.

  "What's wrong Hermione" said Lavender, who was sitting next to her.

"Nothing" she said "Nothing I'm just really tired with all this extra work"

 "Miss Granger" Severus called with a malicious look on his face "I don't remember asking you to talk. I will see you at the end of the class" Hermione didn't look up at him. She was feeling rather hurt at his fading interest in her.

"My god" cried Severus when the rest of the class had left.

  "What's wrong?" said Hermione in a cool voice "And why wouldn't you look at me for the whole lesson?"

  "Hermione if you knew how much I wanted to…how close I was to…"

"Sorry I didn't think" she said

"Do you know how hard that lesson was for me?"

 "HARD was it?" she said mischievously "Just how hard?" she said her eyes straying from his face down to his crotch where Severus' erection was screamingly obvious.       

   "This isn't funny Hermione. How am I supposed to teach you when all I can think about is how much I want to touch you and kiss you and…"

 "Sorry" she said again

"What lesson have you got next?" he said changing the subject quickly

  "I haven't, Professor Flitwick has given us the next few weeks off to read the whole of our new Charms book"

  "Let me guess you've already read it" Hermione nodded "Then you have free time now?" "I was going to go to the library to do some homework"

  "Why don't you use my library it's quieter"

"Thanks" she said walking past him to his room.

Severus followed her quietly up the stairs to the library. When he got there Hermione was sitting at the desk writing quickly and sighing occasionally.

 "That looks like hard work" he said making her jump.

"You nearly gave me a heart attack" she said turning around and scowling at him.

 "You nearly gave me a heart attack in my lesson" he said smoothly. He walked over to her and slipped her robes off her shoulders. He began to kiss her neck and shoulders softly pausing at the spot where he had bitten her and kissing it lovingly.

 "Mmmm that's so nice" she said in a soft voice

  "Hermione" he said whispering in her ear "I want to make love to you"

"I want to make love you to you too" she said turning around and standing up.

  "I want to make love to you now" he said "I can't wait anymore"

"Neither can I" she said reaching out for his hands and placing them on her breasts. He closed his eyes and pulled her nearer. His hands moved down to her round cheeks and holding her against him as hard as he could.

 "Oh Severus" Hermione moaned grinding her hips roughly into his hardness

"Hermione we should do this slowly" Severus said with every ounce of control he could muster.

 "I can't" she said in a lust-filled voice "I want you too much"

"I want this to be perfect" he said still holding her tightly against him

  "It will be" she said "But I want it to be real Severus, I want it to be something natural"

Severus pushed Hermione against the wall and pinned her arms above her head. Kissing her roughly on her lips he moved his hips away from hers with great effort. Her moans of protestation almost sent Severus over the edge. The most erotic sound to him was hearing how much she wanted him.

 "Severus please" Hermione begged. Severus let Hermione's hands go and pulled her towards the desk. Hermione sat on the desk and pulled Severus closer to her, wrapping her legs around his waist. Hermione began to undo Severus' shirt. She ran her hands across his chest to his broad shoulders and round his neck.

 "Hermione" he gasped as she reached down to his waist and began to undo his trousers. "Oh God Hermione" As they fell to the floor Hermione began to pull Severus' boxer shorts down. She could hear his breathing getting faster as his boxer shorts hit the ground. Severus undid Hermione's shirt revealing her perfectly shaped breasts. He reached around her back and undid her bra freeing her large breasts. He circled her nipples with butterfly kisses. Hermione moaned softly as Severus ran his hands up her skirt and removed her knickers with shaking hands.

"Hermione do you still want this?"
